Hello, hello! Are you still swooning over the new release by CAS-ual Fridays? Cause I still am! I LOVED all of the silhouette images! And since it is my turn to share something on their blog today I'm playing with the super cute Mermaids Set. Check it out...

Isn't she so much fun?! I just love the way the Mermaids are holding their hands so it is easy to mix and match what they are holding from the set. To create my card I started with a stencil and some Nuvo Glimmer Pastes. While that was drying I heat embossed this cutie and the starfish with Gold Embossing Powder. I wanted there to be a look of what behind her so I went over her with Distress Ink in Salty Ocean. She was then fussy cut and set to the side. I went back to my stenciled panel and added distress ink in the same color. Next, I stamped and heat embossed the bottom half of my sentiment, for added interested and applied the same distress ink for a third time. Finally, I popped everything up with foam adhesive and adhered clear sequins as a finishing touch.

And if this card just has you seeing stars (or glitter in this case lol) make sure you head over to their store and pick this set up for yourself! Plus I have a coupon code you can use!!!

Hello!!! Happy hop day!!! And this hop is sure to make you happy as it is all things floral! Take a peek at my flowery project using one of the newest sets called Tutu. (This set is sold out in the CAS-ual Fridays store, but you can still find some at SSS and 7KidsCollegeFund I believe)

To create my card I started by embossing my image and sentiment with gold embossing powder. Next, I went over the sweet little tutu and floral hair with a white gel pen. I layered this panel up with some floral patterned paper and another layer of polka dot patterned paper. To finish the card off I used the CAS-ual Friday's Limited Edition Sistahood Sparkle sequins.

Thanks so much for visiting me today, and make sure you check out all of the stops on the hop for your chance to win a little something too! Here is a complete list of participants...

The name of the set I get to share with you today just makes my day! The Puffy Heart Love is as cute as it sounds... it is filled with nice large sentiments in a sweet swirling font. Take a peek at what I've created with this set...

To create this card I started by trimming some patterned paper and adhering it to the front of the card. I die cut a tag from the Tag Buddies Fri-Die Set and began stamping this sweet sentiment and hearts. I used a gradient ink for added interest. I then tied the tag off, adhered it with foam adhesive, and added a few wood veneers.

I hope you've enjoyed all of the peeks this week, and I'm so excited that you can now get these bad boys for yourself! Head over to the CAS-ual Friday Store and use my code for 15% off your total purchase!

Ok you guys this release just keeps getting better, because wait until you see the cuties I get to share with you today!!! This new Mermaid set by CAS-ual Fridays is so unique, sweet and fun to play with...

As this card is all about water, I couldn't help but add watercoloring to the card itself! For the mermaid and the shell in her hand I started by stamping and heat embossing her with a sticky embossing powder and adding a layer of shiny silver foil. While the foil did not go on smoothly I liked the texture it gave the image for my underwater scene and decided to stick with it. The shells and sentiment were stamped and embossed with white embossing powder. Next, I added layers of watercolor from my Gansai Tambi Watercolor Set. After the panel was dry I distressed the edges before adhering it with foam adhesive to the front of my card panel. The clear sequins with the perfect finishing touch.

Make sure you pop on over to the CAS-ual Friday Blog for more inspiration, peeks, and a giveaway!

For this card I went totally girly and stamped these sweet images from the Tutu Stamp Set with light pastel colors. And to finish it off I just had to pop it up on glittery pink cardstock! Of course the sentiments to this set couldn't be anymore perfect, and I love that these girls are silhouette images.

Hello! Today's sneak peek for CAS-ual Friday's new release starts off with a real bang if you ask me. The stamp set we are sharing today is called Flower Case, and I love the sweet letters that are the perfect size for personalizing just about anything! Take a peek at what I've created...

Isn't it so much fun! I love that I was able to add my daugter's name right to the front of this card for her. (Not to mention how excited she was when she saw her name on it.) To create this card I started by stamping the letters in Versamark Ink and embossing them with a glittery purple embossing powder. Next, I added a rainbow of colors with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and a water brush. I also painted a shadow effect with a grey color around the letters to really help the stand off the panel. After this had dried I stamped the rest of my sentiment from the Sunbeams Stamp set and adhered it to some colored cardstock.
